Smith Here are a few incidents that have happened in grade nine in the last week or so. Maybe they're true, may- be they're fictional. Grade nine was just oomfortably settled for the math lesson, when Mr. Knight interrupted its peaceful slumber by addressing disgustingly Bill Hinton], who was looking vacantly out the window, "Could you tell Hie why.you came in here 'this morning?" °Well, er, wh,- e mathematics," re- plied Bill thoughtfully. • 0 - 0 - 0 When Mr. Ritter sustalneu, his arm injury 3 weeks ago, he had the sym- pathy of all his students. However, he appeared to be in a rather cheerful mood, and while we niners were dis- cussing puns he thought of an excel- lent example, He stated; "When I received this in- jury I ran into a wall." For those who don't follow the exploits of our con- genie!. English teacher t might add that he got his injury when he check- ed a Kincardine player named "Wall," in a hockey game in Wingham arena. 0 - 0 - 0 When Mr. Turner was handing out the History examination papers he told the class that when the bell rang concluding the period, all writing must cease. However, Dave Slosser inter- rupted, "You made a mistake, Mr. Turner: you should have said, come out swinging at the bell," From these accounts of happenings at W.D. H.S., you can see that High School isn't a bad occupation after all, Al- thOtigh at first it may .-pot APPeAt' that way. Purling *pert bythe John Crawford r On Mondaychampion Schoolboy rink for Wingham was deelaeed. This rink consisted of Ken Grc88- skip; Don Mecham vice; Jack Elliott, sec, P4d; John Wild, lead.

Bert Watson FIRE DESTROYS r.voAN SCH.QQ14 Lucan Public Senool was destroyed by fire early Thursday morning. The caretaker noticed smell of smoke when he was working on the second floor about 7 a.m. Upon going to the basement he found it filled with smoke, He called the fire depart; ment but they couldn't save anything. All records were destroyed. Fire was shooting from every win- dow and the roof collapsed within an hour. The building, on No. 4 highway nearly across from the arena, housed the high schoOl until the students were moved to the new Medway drool, Public school pupils were then transferred to this school as it Was a better building than the one they formerly used—Exeter Times-Advoe- 10 ete, cteeasion4lly you get a bargain from the Government, and in this writer's opinion the biggest two bits' worth to come out of Ottawa to date is the topographic Map sheet put out by the Department of Mines and Technica, Surveys. For twenty-five cents, inept age and a little patirnee you can learn more about your own baeicyard er anyone else's fen that matter, than Would be neaSible in years of explor- ing, investigating, or covering the ter- ritory on foot. And you can do all this at home in the comfort of your easy chair. Supposing we pay our -twenty-five cents and get a map of the 'Ningham district, If you're used to road maps this is going to be an eye-creener. Poi the scale of the map is 1 mile to 1 inch, and the average road map ;s about 14 miles to an inch. Everything on the Wingham map looms up pretty big, so big, in fact that the map only covers an area 25 miles long and 17 miles wide. It stretehea from Tees- water on the north to Brussels on the south, and from a mile or so east of Fordwich to one half mile this side of Lucknow, Harriston, Blyth, Lueknow and a part of Teeswater are all "off the map" on other sheets, Naturally you can cram a lot of de- tail into a map as large as that, For instance every creek in the district is shown, even the ones that dry up in the summer, Every concession road is shown, including those which were surveyed but never built, and those which were built but are never used, Even the odd pathway is marked. Take the town of Wingham, On the map the town covers about a square inch of space, being rougely an area of about one square milts All the streets are shown, and the- railway lines, complete with switches, That circle on Josephine street is the park, and those little black dots are houses, the Maitland, clearly marked for There's the McKenzie biidge over iron, The height of the water level in the upper dam is marked -1017 feet above sea level and around the High school we can see from the contours that the level is • anound 1100. And there's the cemetery and ti e swamp on the other side of the darn and the school at Lower' Town and the CPR station, About all they don't show is the people on the street. Unlike most maps the topographical series show hills, by means of con- tours at 25 foot intervals The effect is as if each hill were sliced horizont- ally every 25 feet, the -outline at each level being drawn on the map. With a bit of practice it's no trouble to pic- ture the size and shape of the hills and valleys, and other physical de- tails such ass railway embankments and cuttings. Cemeteries, various types of buildings such as houses, barns, mills, schools and churches, are all dis- tinguished by different symbols, Wooded areas are shown, either as evergreen or deciduous, and swamps have their own symbol, too, There are also symbols for such things as elec- tric power lines (on steel towers or wood poles), tunnels, culverts, church- es with spire, quarries, gravel pits, cheese factories and swing bridges. Each map is provisicd with a Refer- ence for those who are apt to become confused. Alf The whole of Southern Ontario Iwo now been mapped by the Department In the rage to 1 inch soils. Sheets' adjeceiit to the Wingham sheet are: Kincardine, Lucknow, Goclerich, Sea- forth, Conestoga Palmerston, Durham and Walkerton, In addition to the mile maps there are 2 nine to 1 inch- scale maps of some sections of north-, ern Ontario. Next come the 4 mile to- •t inch maps, such as Bruce and Kit- chener, which cover still more terri- tory, but on a smaller scale, and the 8 mile to 1 inch sheets, covering an even larger area, The 8 mile map on which Wingnam appears, is the Windsor, Toronto sheet, which is still much sup- eriqr to an ordinary road map. Similar snaps of the whole of Canada are ob- tainable, From a practical standpoint the t mile map is a godsend to hunters and fishermen, With such a map you never need to get lost on a sideroari. Hunters Will find it handy for locating the right type of hunting country from the lay of the land and the location of bush and swamp, Fishermee can eas- ily pick out interesting looking lakes and streams, and sometimes you can even pick a likely spot for the big ones, right off the 'nap, first try. And if you don't take things as ser- iously as all that, but just like to do a bit of exploring now and then, a topographic map is bound ti give you !lots of ideas. 'RED CROSS SICK ROOM LOAN CUPBOARDS Boys will be boys and a trick or two on a femme meant a 'broken leg for five-year-old Wayne Ronald Weireh, of Winnipeg, Red Cross came to his aid with the loan of a pair of crutches to help him get eround until he was ready for more exciting acti-. vibes. Now sound and sturdy he is shown returning the crutches to the Sick Room Loan Supply Service. Little Wayne is one of many thous- ands of Canadians who call every year for the loan of sick room supplies from the Red Cross. All requests for loans of sick room supplies, which are made absolutely free of charge, are checked with the family physcian for the protection of the' patient, the doctor and the Red Cross, "In most Clinadian centres hospital accomodation is difficult to obtain and• snore and more cases of chronic or in- curable diseases are being eared for ip the home," stated Helen McArthur, national director of Red Cross nursing services. "Through the Red Cross it is possible to obtain on loan such things as hospital beds, back rests, bed pans crutches and wheel chairs. Linen, blankets, air rings end others are also provided by the local Red Cross bran- chee." The Sick Room Loan Cupboards have widened their scope in recent years through the co-operation of local departments of health and women's organizations. Private rhyscians, health and welfare agencies, nursing services, as well as private individuals, all make calls on them in more than 500 Red Cross centrc.s. ses e,er • • • es, . ..... . 3 INERE111111f TRUE 5 DESIGNED TO MEET THE HAULING NEEDS OF EXPANDING CANADA s See eeseseeseeeesseses, hoe root , bA/I/E1 .--ENG/lV5ERED 4- CADS GREATEST LINE OF MERCURY TRUCKS EVER BUILT! 8 great series ...17 wheelbases 5 V-8 engines ... over 100 completely new models from 4000 to 27000 lbs.
